MM-7000 OVERVIEW

The MM-7000 is one of the world’s most technologically advanced, full service TACAN beacons available today. Best suited for ruggedized operations in harsh environments, the MM-7000 is shipboard certified, meeting MIL-STD-901D for shock, MIL-STD-167 for vibration and MIL-STD-810G for temperature. The MM-7000 is available in fixed base, shipboard and mobile configurations, and operates in TACAN, silent, demand and DME-only modes. The system is available in 29”, 43” and 60” high racks as single and dual transponder configurations, and can be used independently or with existing navigational aids.

Its modular state-of-the-art design includes surface mount technology components, digital signal processing and soft-fail RF power amplifiers to maximize performance. Large-scale integrated circuitry, back-plane interconnection and miniaturization reduce cost and allow for flexible configuration. Pulse shape and spectrum are controlled by an agile digital feedback control loop to keep the signal in space within permissible limits in all operating conditions. The MM-7000 TACAN/DME is available as US Navy AN/URN-32 kit or installed in AN/URN-25 cabinet and drawer, is fully compliant with STANAG 5034, Mil-Std-291C and ICAO Annex 10, and offers low maintenance, high reliability and ease of use.

REMOTE MAINTENANCE MONITORING (RMM) AND CONTROL SUB-SYSTEM

The integrated monitoring and maintenance system provides capability to remotely monitor, control, troubleshoot and fault-isolate all system parameters. RMM functions can be accessed via a built-in, high resolution touch screen display, a local PC, remote PC and a remote control status unit (RCSU).

Each monitor checks system performance to allow in-depth system analysis and test from local or remote locations. Display screens show operating parameters, overall system status, LRU status, alarm limits, diagnostics and test, amplifier status and transmitter control status.

The RCSU allows full access to all RMM features via a high resolution touch screen display using a two wire twisted cable pair at up to five miles distance.

RMM features include:n Windows, Mac and Linux compatibility and four level username and password protectionn Alignment and adjustment of all critical parameters including settable adjustment of the

hard and soft fail alarm limits n Accommodates flight testing support from a remote locationn Full RMM diagnostics and history logging for each siten LRU build state look-upn Dial-up, two wire twisted pair and Ethernet connectivityn LAN/satellite link/fiber optic connection option

BUILT-IN TEST EQUIPMENT

Independent, built-in interrogators provide automatic, real-time system testing to ensure fault free operation and beacon signal production.n Fully operational from a local or remote locationn Available for troubleshooting and fault isolationn Includes on-board status indicators for normal and fault conditions

ANTENNA COMPATABILITY

Moog’s line of electronically scanned antennae fully comply with relevant international standards to offer improved features, reliability and range. Tall and medium aperture antennas are available for fixed base and mobile applications. Small aperture antennas are available for shipboard and man portable installations.n Antenna status and control fully integrated into RMM for local and remote operationsn Rapid BITE fault isolation to LRU leveln Antenna control unit LRU integrated into system cabinet n Low power consumption and high gain provide reduced operating costs

LOGISTICS SUPPORT

Moog is the number one TACAN producer on the market, having sold and fielded more systems than all other TACAN suppliers combined. Our products have been installed and are used by civil and military customers across the globe.

Moog provides global logistics support and technical assistance, including: n A customer helpline manned 24 hours a dayn Support packages for 15-20 years of the whole operational life of the equipmentn System installation and trainingn Site survey and system commissioningn Safety cases, spares and repairs
